Add aspect-correct output of scaled video modes and a hint to control this behavior (aspect, stretch, or none).
The Wayland spec states that fullscreen surfaces that do not cover the entire output shall be centered with the borders masked by the compositor, so no additional work is required aside from calculating the proper window dimensions.
The default is still 'stretch' mode, as some window managers as of this time (KDE and older versions of GNOME still found in LTS distros) don't behave according to the spec and present an unmasked window that is not centered, so it's not yet safe to change the default.
Consolidate the X11_WMCLASS and WAYLAND_WMCLASS envvars into one SDL_HINT_APP_ID hint. This hint serves the same purpose on both windowing systems to allow desktop compositors to identify and group windows together, as well as associate applications with their desktop settings and icons.
The common code for retrieving the value is now consolidated under core/unix/SDL_appid.c as it's common to *nix platforms, and the value is now retrieved at window creation time instead of being cached by the video driver at startup so that changes to the hint after video initialization and before window creation will be seen, as well as to accommodate cases where applications want to use different values for different windows.
By default SDL will only enumerate controllers, to reduce risk of hanging or crashing on devices with bad drivers and avoiding macOS keyboard capture permission prompts.
Change 8067023 by mikela:
Add SDL_HINT_WINDOW_ACTIVATE_WHEN_RAISED to SDL_RaiseWindow
- When set to false, this allows SDL_RaiseWindow to bring a chosen window to the top of the stack but not force input focus to it
Change 8067041 by mikela:
Rename SDL_HINT_WINDOW_NO_ACTIVATION_WHEN_SHOWN to SDL_HINT_WINDOW_ACTIVATE_WHEN_SHOWN
We have gotten feedback that abstracting the coordinate system based on the display scale is unexpected and it is difficult to adapt existing applications to the proposed API.
The new approach is to provide the coordinate systems that people expect, but provide additional information that will help applications properly handle high DPI situations.
The concepts needed for high DPI support are documented in README-highdpi.md. An example of automatically adapting the content to display scale changes can be found in SDL_test_common.c, where auto_scale_content is checked.
Also, the SDL_WINDOW_ALLOW_HIGHDPI window flag has been replaced by the SDL_HINT_VIDEO_ENABLE_HIGH_PIXEL_DENSITY hint.
Fixes https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/issues/7709
It turns out that screen coordinates were confusing people, thinking that meant pixels, when instead they are virtual coordinates; device independent units defined as pixels scaled by the display scale. We'll use the term "points" for this going forward, to reduce confusion.
Re-writes the clipboard data handling in wayland to an on demand
solution where callbacks are provided to generate/provide the clipboard
data when requested by the OS.
As child windows can be recursively destroyed when their parents are destroyed, emit an event to notify the application when a window is being or has been implicitly destroyed so that it can appropriately clean up any associated resources.
If the application has registered an event watch, the destroy message will be received when the window handle is still valid, so the application can retrieve and release any userdata associated with the window. If the message is processed at any time after that, the window handle is already invalid and the ID is only useful for application-side bookkeeping purposes.
- SDL_AudioCVT is gone, even internally.
- libsamplerate is gone (I suspect our resampler is finally Good Enough).
- Cleanups and improvements to audio conversion interfaces.
- SDL_AudioStream can change its input/output format/rate/channels on the fly!
It turns out there's a race condition on X11 where the window could be placed by the window manager while being placed by the application, so we need to have the initial position available at window creation.
